Snake Snake Escape B3 is based on B3 basic, it is a little heavy on some machines. you need to have a good modern machine with a good graphics card. To get the requirements down, I need to do some refactoring of B3 basic itself.
Until I have my head around how to do that, I am working on another project. I am porting Snake Escape to the C64.
It will be the second game, not written in Basic on the C64, that I made. The last game was 28 years ago or so, so wish me luck :)
I mostly do this just for fun, and the more comments I get the more fun I have making the game.
What did you like about Snake Escape? What would you want to improve for the C64 version?
For those technically interested:
B3 Snake Escape was originally created to show of my programming language "B3", which is "Basic for the Browser" and can be found here: https://joystickandcursorkeys.github.io/B3Script/
Snake Escape C64, should have the same game play, and similar graphics and sounds. I will write it in KickC and KickAssembler, and have a running version of the game, but still lot's of features are missing.
